MarAd rebrands security office

The Maritime Administration has reorganized its Office of National Security into the Office of Strategic Sealift.
The re-branded office comes with three areas of focus — maritime workforce, and federal and commercial sealift, according to a MarAd press release.
"Federal Sealift continues to be responsible for ready reserve force vessels, emergency preparedness and the National Defense Reserve Fleet," according to the press release. "Commercial Sealift will coordinate both the Cargo Preference and Maritime Security programs. The Office of Maritime Workforce Development will evaluate mariner training needs, and enforce service obligations for maritime academy graduates."
